I acquired a stray kitten 3 days ago. She weighed 9.4 oz which would have put her in the 2-3 wk old range. She is quite spunky, easily adapted to litter box, pounces, groomed, and had all teeth. Began bottle feeding and she has put on weight.
I suspected she was closer to 5 wks based upon behavior. I took her to free vet clinic today and they said closer to 8 weeks and about 1.5 pounds underweight!!!
They referred me to vet for tomorrow.
Kitten has seemingly normal poo, eats hardily, very active, no coughing or drainage. The vet tech indicated a likely poor outcome and said she was even too small for blood work. Tomorrow is parasite test.
Anyone have a kitty this tiny make it? Thx
